Former NFL wide receiver Reche Caldwell was arrested Tuesday with five pounds of the drug Molly, police said.
The 35-year-old former New England Patriot was pulled over just north of the Busch Gardens Amusement Park in Tampa, Florida, when police busted him with well over $170,000 worth of the party drug also known as MDMA.
Molly is made from the amphetamines often found in ecstasy that give users a feeling of extreme euphoria. It is often marketed by dealers as a ‘pure’ version of the drug often in the news for causing overdoses at raves and music festivals.
This arrest only adds to his legal troubles after an undercover sting exposed him earlier this year as one of three people running an illegal gambling ring in the city, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
Caldwell was pulled over Tuesday afternoon and police quickly discovered the massive stash estimated by TMZ to be worth just under $180,000.
The former receiver derisively called ‘Ricochet’ by San Diego Chargers fans for routinely dropping passes during his four seasons with the team was charged with possession of a controlled substance and booked into Hillsborough County Jail.
His bail was set at $2,000, but the former million dollar earner has not been able to pay it, the Times reported.
